Definitive Audiophile pressings

I’m saying if you really like weezer a lot buy the mofi. If you are a casual fan just buy a normal copy, weezer are not a band that are going to benefit as much from a mofi as an artist who has a lush or complex sound.

Remaster voodoo was me throwing some shade on the ridiculous descriptions they all give their processes.
Ahhhh ok, I totally understand where you’re coming from now! I’m not a massive fan, just a casual one but I’d like to get their debut on vinyl because I know it’s an iconic album! That’s good to know the MoFi pressing doesn’t far outweigh a normal pressing! I’ll still get the MoFi but that’s good info to know! 👍

Mmmmm interesting MoFi say that! Sounds like something VMP would say about their process or if they were to name a colour variant! 😂
 
Just looked at a couple of the 18 original 1989 presses listed on cogs as well and the U.K. release in particular has tonnes on offer and none for silly money.
I’ve been avoiding ordering from abroad for now since I’ve already had 3 albums just completely go missing in the past few months. I also typically buy US pressings if I go for an OG from an American artist (and go UK if it’s a British artist, etc). Not sure if it’s true or not but I had read as a rule of thumb that you’re more likely getting something from the original master instead of a copy tape in a lot of instances
 
Or ask your mam and dad to get it for you for Christmas like all self respecting 40 year old men do...

Although the tag that was on the parcel implied it was the dog who had bought it for me 😂

My dad prides himself in picking me out the latest development in gore-tex rain jacket technology that he can get at the North Face or Tog24 store at The Outlet every year. I wouldn’t want to take that away from him. Also living in Ireland it does come in handy to be fair to him 😂

No mofi doesn’t say that! I’m taking the piss out of their descriptions by saying that 🤦🏻

Every year for Christmas my fiancee’s mom buys her a sweater because she “hears it’s cold in New York in the winter” 😂😂

It was actually a bit embarrassing to be honest. Turns out the dog's paw writing is much, much neater than mine is.

I noticed he didn't get me any bath or shower stuff though. He was probably worried I'd try to use them on the scruffy little bugger

Anyway, on track... This just turned up

Yea annoyingly looking at the sale dates on popsike, the spikes seemed to be when I looked then I gave up.

I have a bunch of eBay searches saved but I’m already at my self-imposed quota. If I saved them for every album I want, I’d be broke!
Self imposed? I used to always be stuck at the eBay imposed quota of 100 searches. 😂Finally stopped doing that, but every time I look up something lately I regret it because prices seem to be 2-5x what they were just two years ago when I was checking every day.

I wouldn't characterize $20-30 as cheap either fwiw. I actually had searches for New York and Berlin at one point and am regretting not getting the for like $12 or whatever they were at on a good auction then. Passed on a lot of stuff holding out for a really good deal.

My saved searches are for wider terms like MFSL now which is dangerous haha. I don’t do many for individual albums. I also have lots of regrets for albums I never picked up for cheap but I also have way too many records and realize I can’t possibly buy them all...so the Roon setup has been getting it’s use.
 
Is there any update on when the MoFi might ship?? I’ve had it on preorder for awhile but couldn’t find any actual info.

dunno. I decided to trial deep discount, with the 10% code it worked out as €50 shipped. If they pull it off, I don’t get hammered for customs and it arrives in one piece they become intriguing!

They have 26/3 listed as the release date.
 
FYI the Clapton hate won't stand! I feel obligated to defend considering my avatar. Unplugged is great stuff!

That said, I'm never one who goes nuts for audiophile versions of digitally recorded stuff (except The Nightfly and a few others).
 
Agreed, Love's a strong word but I do like quite a bit of the man's music and hardly find the unplugged album boring...........but to each his own ;)

Yeah completely. I mean agree with @Rowan on this one and his horrid character makes me not want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I find him to be one of those stunning musicians who isn’t that proficient a songwriter. I also think it falls squarely into my repeated criticism of mofi picking “safe” albums that aren’t special rather than taking an A&R risk from time to time.

That said if you enjoy it more power to you and there is no shame in that at all!
